This looks odd, but ip_rt_ioctl never handled SIOCRTMSG to start with,
so it looks fine.  Might be worth splitting into another prep patch
with a good changelog.

ip_rt_ioctl could also use some additional simplification if it's only
called for SIOCADDRT/SIOCDELRT and lose a level of indentation while
we're at it.

But otherwise this looks good:
